Showing Original Post only (View all)Nancy Grace is just f*ing evil. [View all]
In my area a young woman who accidentally smothered her baby after she fell asleep, drunk on vodka, committed suicide by setting herself on fire in her mother's back yard.
She had been pilloried on Nancy Grace's TV show - Grace called her the "Vodka Mom" and demanded to know why she shouldn't be charged with first-degree murder.
About a week after she was charged, flame-throwing CNN talk-show host Nancy Grace featured the case on her show. Grace held up a fifth of cheap vodka and said she was going to see how many glasses she could get out of the bottle.
...
She poured at least nine as the words "vodka mom" appeared on the screen.
...
She said the baby was purple and one guest theorized that was from a "pooling of blood" because he had been dead for so long. "Why no murder one charges?" Grace asked, referring to the charge for premeditated murder.
...
Maria Phillips, Medrano's younger sister, said Medrano was "shaking and couldn't take a breath" as she watched Grace's show. "She got depressed and said life wasn't worth living. She said she couldn't live with herself."

Yes, I know this woman was terribly negligent for getting stinking drunk and passing out on her baby. But Nancy Grace is a horrible, compassionless harpy. This is a horrible story, and I'm sure Grace couldn't care less about what happened to this woman.

I see your point. This is where 24 hr news/topic shows has gotten us to. But I find it hard...

Yes, manslaughter seems appropriate. Tragic. But foreseeable, even w/o intent.

She needs something to distract from the fact that she can only rant in sentence fragments. (nt)

Even sober sleeping women can--and do--roll over and accidentally smother their babies.

Too bad Grover Norquist hasn't worked on getting Nancy Grace into a bathtub.

Nancy has figured out how to make money on vengeance. Vengeance is not justice.

She's on cable. 95% of shows on cable don't get enough viewers to exceed Nielsen MOE

The sad thing is that Grace is pandering to a particular demographic that gets off on this garbage.

I agree on all counts, personally I don't believe Grace cared about the baby either except as to his

IF she had rolled over and smothered her boyfriend, what would Grace have said?
